One of the 90s’ most prolific actresses showed no love was lost when speaking on the death of self proclaimed relationship guru Kevin Samuels, who passed away this past week at 56 years old. The cause of his death has not yet been revealed.

Many of his opposers, particularly Black women, have had mixed feelings about Samuels’ passing, with some being outright callous about the death of Samuels, who was very critical of single, Black women who were still looking for relationship advice.

Veteran actress Vivica Fox appeared on her show Cocktails With Queens, where Fox didn’t hold back at all when speaking about Samuels after death. Fox said, “This man was a hypocrite, in my honest opinion. He really was. I didn’t find anything about him to be healing. He insulted African-American women on a consistent basis.” F

ox then pointed out details of Samuels’ death, saying, “I hope this is teaching folks a lesson about the karma that you put out, the negativity that you put out in the world. That when karma comes knocking at your door, she mind not be so kind. So, the fact that he keeled over real quick and was supposedly with a woman that we don’t yet know the nationality, rest in peace..”

Bod Boy French Montana will be appearing i n court in the near future after it was reported that he is being sued for allegedly stealing the lyrics from his 2021 smash hit “Handstand”.

Turk’s attorney, Paul M. Aloise Jr. of the Brooks LeBoeuf law firm, says they’re willing to settle out of court, so hopefully this case will end without unnecessary litigation.

I’ve always considered myself a visitor in hip hop. When I was 21, I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I learned a lesson in the hospital, which was that as long as I had like one finger that still worked, no matter what the world took from me, I could play the keyboard and I could make music. All the things in my life just kind of pointed me in one direction. I’m here to play my part and to leave my impact.
